Windows Powershell Scripting

 

Note: This course will be next offered in January, 2008

Course Summary:

This course provides students with the knowledge and skills necessary to write and maintain Powershell scripts to automate all aspects of system administration for computers running the Microsoft Windows operating system. In addition to basic Powershell concepts such as Cmdlets, Scripts and Pipelining, this course covers the interfaces built into the Windows operating system (eg. Windows Management Instrumentation - WMI and Active Directory Services Interfaces - ADSI) which scripts must call in order to manipulate the operating system. This course has been designed for system administrators and does not require an extensive background in programming.

Comments From Former Students: (In one of my other classes -- This is a first time class)

"I really enjoyed taking your class and will be coming in for the ASP .NET class as well in Summer 2005"

"I think this class consolidated and extended what I learnt from DeAnza, plus ADO.net access to MS SQL... Thanks for being my teacher."

"Thank you for offering such a wonderful course on the internet. It's always an enjoyable experience to have your course, both Perl and this one. Although I took the easy labs, yet they were challenging enough for me to learn a lot. Now I still keep reading other C# books, and try to get some background knowledge for other alternative labs. I think this course should run 2 quarters. I hope I have chance to take your C# web or other course online in the future. Thank you."

"...it's really exciting to work on these labs. I'm almost done with lab3E -- It's so cool to practice the DataTable features !! I have learned a lot ..."

PS -- Thank YOU for being a kind, competent and wonderfully attentive instructor. I like how you help out with questions (even as a student, like in COIN 92!)
